I never imagined that I would stay in that place for more than a year.
So much so that I spent my twenty-third birthday in a coma.
Of course, this time the coma was not in the dark underground.
It is in the advanced special care ward of the best and most top-notch private hospital in Zhongzhou.
When I opened my eyes again, the surrounding environment was still very dim.
If it weren't for the faint scent of fragrance in the room, I would have thought I was back in that ghost place again.
I didn't even come out from anywhere at all.
After my eyes adjusted to the surrounding light environment, I realized that this was a very luxurious independent ward.
There is a TV, sofa, water dispenser, and some fruits on the bedside table.
A cup of hot water is still steaming.
There was a person curled up on the sofa.
The man had his back to me and was covered with a blanket. He was snoring one after another.
But when I heard this purr, I laughed from the bottom of my heart.
Because even if the man didn't turn around, I already knew what that big lump was.
"big……"
"Big... treasure..."
I finally opened my mouth and said these two words.
But the sound seemed like only I could hear it.
There is a hanging bottle hanging above my head, with a certain injection written on it.
I can even see some of the small words on it very clearly.
I smiled bitterly and wanted to move my body, but as soon as I raised my hand, the feeling of dying swept across my body again.
"Um……"
I let out an indescribable moan.
It was this moaning sound that woke up Li Dabao from his sleep.
He yawned and got up from the sofa.
Very deftly, he picked up a cider from the bedside table and nibbled on it.
Then when he lowered his head, his eyes met mine.
His action of biting the apple also stopped at this moment.
We looked at each other for a long time, and his eyes blinked again and again. Although I couldn't say much.
But he can move his eyelids.
A very surprised look appeared on Li Dabao's face, and the apple in his mouth fell to the ground.
Then, as if he saw a monster, he rushed out from my hospital bed.
A gorilla-like exclamation came out of his mouth.
"I...fuck..."
"woke up……"
"woke up……"
"He woke up..."
Even though Li Dabao had rushed out of the ward, his beastly roar still echoed outside the entire corridor.
Not long after, I heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from outside.
An old man wearing a white coat, gray hair, and thick glasses walked to my hospital bed surrounded by a group of medical staff.
He asked me a few questions first, and I answered them all by blinking my eyes.
Then it reached out to feel my pulse, listened to my heartbeat with a stethoscope and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he stared at me and murmured: "A miracle, simply a miracle..."
"Young man, do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"
"I……"
Li Dabao stood aside and looked very anxious. He came closer and said, "Doctor Hua, he seems to be unable to speak. I'm here to communicate with him."
With that said, Li Dabao said: "Jiuri, you can tell me now..."
As he spoke, Li Dabao blinked hard.
I blinked briefly.
Li Dabao then turned to Doctor Hua and said, "Jiu Ri said that he feels pain every time he moves, but there is no other discomfort."
Doctor Hua nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "This is normal. After all, he has been lying here for half a year, and his language ability and mobility have been severely degraded."
"But it doesn't matter. Now that he's awake, the subsequent treatment will be much simpler."
"Okay, Fatty, just stay with him here. I'm going to tell Master Wu about this, and then give him some nutritional injections to replenish his strength."
"Xiao Zhang, come with me and I'll tell you how to handle the follow-up work..."
"I am no longer needed here. The matters in the United States have not been dealt with yet..."
Doctor Hua ordered his students and walked out.
After they finished leaving, Li Dabao seemed extremely excited.
He talked a lot to me, but it seemed very confusing.
Finally, the doctor came in and stopped Li Dabao's 'nonsense'.
He also told Li Dabao: "The patient needs to rest and recuperate now. He will be able to speak in two days. I will chat with you."
With that said, Li Dabao drove him out.
The time I could really manage to speak was probably on the sixth day after I woke up.
And that day was also the time when I really saw Uncle Yan again.
Uncle Yan looks much, much older.
I don't know when a terrifying scar appeared on my face.
When he saw me, his eyes showed distress.
Ask me quietly how I feel.
I smiled at Uncle Yan and replied softly: "It's okay..."
But I don't know why, when the word "hi" came out of my mouth, tears started to flow down like a kite with its string broken.
I don't even know why I'm crying or why I'm crying.
Uncle Yan neither wiped away my tears nor comforted me.
Just watch me cry.
When I stopped crying, Uncle Yan said in a neither salty nor light tone: "Keep on holding on, and things will be over soon."
After he said this, he sat across from me.
I just stared at Uncle Yan. There were many things I wanted to ask and want to say.
But in the end I didn’t know how to open my mouth.
Just looking at him so quietly.
Uncle Yan seemed to know what I wanted to ask. He took out a cigarette, did not light it, but held it in his hand and said: "Xiao Xu, I know what you want to know, but you have just woken up now and your body still needs a lot of help." A long period of recovery.”
"However, during your recovery period, I will tell you exactly what you want to know."
"From now on, I will no longer hide many things from you..."
Just as he was talking, Uncle Yan didn't know what he thought of, and he clenched his fists fiercely.
Then I felt a chilling air from Uncle Yan permeating the entire room.
"They dare to treat you like this. Even if I, Yama Five, am no longer capable, I will seek justice for you."
I didn't speak because I didn't know what to say.
In the end, Uncle Yan seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and smiled awkwardly at me.
But it doesn’t look good when it smiles, and it’s even a bit scary.
He stretched out his calloused hand and gently patted the back of my hand and said, "You have a good rest. I feel more at ease with the little fat guy here."
"He also knows many things. You can ask him first. I still have some things to deal with and may not come to see you every day."
"When I finish what I'm doing, if you have anything to ask, just ask..."
"Also, don't think about other things. Just cooperate with the treatment. When you get better, we still have a lot of things to do together."
Uncle Yan left after saying that.
He always had his own way and left the room without even waiting for me to ask.
After Uncle Yan left, Li Dabao poked his head out furtively.
Then he asked me what I wanted to eat in a very mean voice.
I looked at Li Dabao's body that had gained weight again and said, "You seem to be a little fat."
Li Dabao came in excitedly and closed the door of the room.
Then he said with an indifferent expression: "You think I think it's not because I eat too much of that kind of thing and my body has excess hormones. Now, even if I want to lose weight, Mr. Bao, I can't lose weight."
I frowned and looked at Li Dabao and asked softly: "You also became an experimental subject?"
Li Dabao nodded heavily and said, "Of course, those people are just perverts, but you and I are not locked up in the same place."
"Besides, Mr. Bao, I'm luckier than you. I only stayed in there for three months before I came out."
"Three months. Do you know how I came here these three months?"
"Fortunately, that old guy hasn't forgotten my contribution to stealing the door."
"Otherwise, even if I die, I will drag this old guy with me to be buried with him. Damn it, how dare you treat one of your own like that...!"
